I have to admit, Mortal Kombat is a game I always loved…the fatalities were immense and I loved the game… I was never majorly into the DC Universe though, but this game could change all that.
2 totally different worlds, 2 different powers going head to head … the brutallity of the MK team and then the super powers of the DC’s .. it’s gonna be cool but with a few little problems they gonna have to think through first really in my eyes.
Firstly … how is anyone gonna kick the shit outta Superman, I mean … nothin will harm him in an MK way I really can’t wait to see an explaination to that one
Secondly, if Mortal Kombat has the fatalities … (assuming that they’re still going to be incorporated into the game) then what are the DC Characters gonna have, I admit I’m not fucked either way whether fatalities are there cause the game looks epic as it stands, for a fighting game, its looking like it’ll rank pretty highly .. but still not be magnificent, but hey … what game is … other than the obvious ones, Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 … o and GTA IV too … prob the 3 best games ever … but then, none of them are fighting … Worlds Collide (the well thought up title for this beast) is … and to be honest, I can see it giving Soul Calibur a run for its money
If I could be arsed to write more about this I really would, but for some reason, I’ve lost interest half way through writing it and I just wanna drink, so am gonna get a lager and then probably start blabbering bout something else
MY FUCKIN GOD THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE !
It’s not often I’ll pick up a game and am impressed right from the beginning … in fact … that hasn’t happened since I first opened oblivion for my 360 and before that was fable on my xbox … before the was Zelda : Ocarina of time, and before that … I can’t remember that far back actually … thats already like 10 years I’ve remembered back.
Fuckin hell…games have come one hell of a long way in 10 years … but anyway back to the shit bout B:BC
——
The game starts by installing some information to your hard drive (becoming a common occurrence of late with PS3 games, but its not half as bad as the DMC4 install that took good chunk of my life I’ll never get back sitting waiting for that motherfucker to install), but once its installed you get a quick little movie style scene, flying through clouds and shit … it looks gorgeous and to be honest, i even put my beer down I was that impressed and open mouthed at the gorgeousness (don’t know if you need HD and 7.1 for it … i do so it prob helped a bit) .. then the game starts, you find out who you are (Preston Marlowe) and you get a few basic exercises to get ready, look around, duck, get to your squad mate and then grab a weapon with a little driving involved too.
I’m not gonna go into detail about it as thats not fair to people who aint played it, but it sticks to what it needed to …
Seeing as though the game lept from a decent online shooter, to now a rather splendid console FPS with great online gameplay, the graphics are gorgeous in my eyes, and seeing as though I’m not a big fan of FPS games like this (don’t get me wrong … i love FPS games, just more into different ones and not war based ones … i love stuff like the Halo trilogy, that kinda FPS), I absolutely adore this game.

So Why’s it called ‘Bad Company’
That’s simple, its called that because you’re small 4 man team (made up of sweetwater, preston – you, haggard and sarge) aren’t exactly role model recruits, their the kind you’d throw in and not care if they were KIA, or kidnapped, they’re the people who fuck up so much but by throwing them out you lose yourself some good patsies … so you put them in bad company. BC (what I’ll call Bad Company from now on) are the guys you see going in first, cleaning up the area, doing all of the real work, before the others come in to claim the glory of your work.
The Bad Company … er … Company
Sweetwater – the cowardly whinner who complains about pretty much everything, but never shuts up
Haggard – a hillbilly who loves to watch the pretty little sparks fly as he blows something to smithereens
Sarge – Just 3 days away from leaving the army, struggling to keep the team together, but at the same time, is desperate to get the job done quick to help his fishing trip come even sooner
Preston – you … you don’t exactly fit in, but by god … you do most the work

The game is full of random crap, loads of jokes and references to other shit from these 4 pissed off guys who decide why not go after the loot themselves. Each soldier’s personality is something that stands out, each are unique and to be honest make the experience something a little different from your ordinary war game. For example, early in the game after you take out some anti-air turrets, you have sarge on the radio to HQ getting more orders, and behind him sweetwater and haggard playing rock paper scissors … its something of a change and its something that adds alot more character to this game.
I’ve no doubt that this game will only continue to get better for me over the time I’m playing it both as a standard FPS and online. and 2bh, I fuckin love it.
O and the best bit … it only cost me 96p thanks to store credit at gamestation lmao … the game has everything, guns, explosions, a bit of relaxing banter … its generally something that you want to play…whether your into fps’s or not … just go rent it from your local rental shop or something, you won’t be sorry .. and if you are … then well … i’m sorry lol
Right, all the hype when this game came out, it lived up to it in my eyes to an extent… the game looked gorgeous, and played magnificently and I played it through and completed it, but the game didn’t grip me… it didn’t make me wanna go back and play it again n again like the halo series did, or even like Kameo did … lol.
I don’t know why but to be honest I can’t even bring myself to write much about the game, I thought it was a gorgeous game that played better then most console games I’ve ever played (and believe me … I’ve played a few of the fuckers) but unfortunately it lacked any major WOW! factor in my eyes and that let it down alot for me.
But I did get the special edition, which 2bh… is worth the little extra as the artbook shows just how much talent the game artists really have, its some incredible work.
According to the new Game Informer article, the successor of Guitar Hero 3 will include:
- Create a song. Although these exclude vocals due to storage and possible copyright issues.
- You’ll be able to name your song as well as create album art. After you’ve done all that you can upload it to GH Tunes where anyone can download it.
- You’ll be limited to 5 songs at first. But depending on the ratings you get you’ll possibly be able to upload 10 or more.
- The song sharing mode will be in the Wii and PS2 versions also, but GI says it’s unlikely that it’ll be as robust as the PS3 and 360 versions.
- Drums, bass, vocals guitar
- Create a rocker
- Create a guitar and drums
- All songs will be master tracks
- They don’t want to discuss specifics on track listing out of fear of being scooped by the competition. However they confirmed 4 bands: Van Halen, The Eagles, Linkin Park and Sublime.
- A new guitar designed by Red Octane that includes a new input mechanic that’ll “impact the way you play GH in the future”.
- GI saw see through notes while playing that Neversoft said was the new input mechanic and that they were trying to patent.
Whoa, I didn’t expect a create-a-song option. The instruments were expected but all master tracks? That’s impressive.

Theres alot of rumours surrounding Guitar Hero 4 … and as usual alot revolve around the song list, with many people saying that the makers are planning on adding song from heavier bands with great guitars such as Dragonforce, Children of Bodom, Slayer etc… but the one thing that will put them off this is the vocal lines, if a person can actually sing as well as Z.P.Threat of Dragonforce, or Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom… why exactly aren’t they in a band touring the world making millions.
This has already been proven in Rock Band … the songs become a little bit more limited with the addition of vocals into the mix as before hand, you could have songs like Slayers, Raining Blood, and the likes, because you didn’t need someone to hit vocals like that, then you get to Rock Band, and none of the original tracks have that rawr factor. But then, thanks to the wonders of downloadable content, your able to download heavier songs, and I suppose that makes it better, it just also means that you need a few throat lozenges at your side for when you’re done with the songs.
I’m hoping that the create your own setup is extended a bit further then on Rock Band, I mean … that was good and for first time we could have a guy looking like ourselves (if you have hair like one of the presets etc…) but why don’t they put in that extra bit of work on it and push it to be more like an Oblivion or WWE create your own character setup, yea…alot of options, but god it was worth it.
I seriously can’t wait for Guitar Hero 4, being one of these guys whose currently bought every one out, and preordered Rock Band the second I was able to, I love these music games and now with Guitar Hero 4’s create your own song, OMFG. Its gonna be EPIC
